Need a tool that auto replies to a users tweets within seconds

[daewoo45]

Hey there, been looking around but couldn't quite find what I am looking for.

I need a tool that can auto reply to a specific persons tweets within seconds of them posting it.

 

[vlone devil]

I'd definitely pay for something like this lol

100% if someone can make a tool that ONLY does this one thing, NOTHING more, they will still be able to sell 100+ copies for $29.99 within a month I think.

But I prefer free

The only way to do it INSTANTLY (or as near as) would be via the twitter API using their stream endpoint. You make a permanent connection to twitter and you can instant notification for certain events.

Otherwise you need to be scraping their feed and then react to it, but the constant scraping could be a footprint.

I suppose a bot that emulates "sitting" on the page making the AJAX calls could get away with it as it would act like the website getting the "there has been new tweets made" message

Still looking if there is anything like this available.

Was looking at this over the weekend actually. There "may" be a way to do it if you are following the account. As twitter home page will auto update with tweets from those you follow, so making requests to get an update every few seconds is how the page works, so no issue with other requests there. Then just filter out everything but who you want to watch.

But the twitter API would probably still be better with there instant notification stream functions

Good to know, just need to find someone capable of making one I suppose.

I'll invest 3 hours today, and see how it goes

I could probably develope something like this, web based through an dashboard/admin panel. Just need to know how it should work like as I am not into twitter that much.

So lets say you have a specific person you follow and as soon as they tweet something, you retweet it? What text will it be? Is or should the text be static or dynamic? How many persons you want to be? Is it only about one single person or a few specific persons? And isn't there already tools for that?

wrote a linux script that checks user , can reply if the new tweet is found newer than last time it checked , can check every second/min/etc and can reply
is that what you wanted ?

 

[c.business]

Interested in this as well.

Yes exactly, linux scripting is all I wanted to do, mind sharing?

My only concern with just using a regular script without using the API is that Twitter might ban your IP? I am not a coder at all.

https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-automation

Don’t! Use non-API-based forms of automation, such as scripting the Twitter website. The use of these techniques may result in the permanent suspension of your account.

Maybe if they don't ban the IP, you would just need something to check Twitter under 1 IP, but log-in and post under a different IP (proxy).

Here are the rate limits for the API. Not sure what all of this means to be honest:

Say kanye west tweets something, i would need a tool that can reply under his tweet with a link and a image within seconds of his posting. Ability to change text / image with spintax. Preferably multiple people, with different sets of pre written tweets for each.

Hell yes man this is what I am looking for!

 

[demoownz]

Following. I might make this if there is enough interest. I have considered making this for myself before but didnt really need it.

could you not just scrape the twitter page on one ip(and diff instance) and keep doing it until there's an update. When there's an update, use tweepy(or whatever you'd like) to tweet?

Well, the point is that 1) we need it to be fully automated 2) most of us are not coders who can "just scrape the Twitter page"

It's not a problem for people who can "code" to make programs like this. I have made a script in Python to do this just using instructions from Github and I am not a coder.

Problem for me was Twitter blocked the account very fast because I wasn't using the API and I don't understand the API limits anyways.

 

[rootjazz]

Someone should really explain me that abit so I could start workin on that.
Having some free time to spend tho

Respectfully, if someone needs to explain to you how to do it, you are not going to be able to do it

Then use the STREAM functions. Declare who you want to stream and twitter will notify you instantly (ish) when the user tweets. It will be MUCH more effective than scraping the userfeed as you will have to limit yourself, which goes against the spec of tweeting within a few seconds
